Unmodified GGUF quantizations of the official Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-1M model, listed as the original Qwen 2.5 7B as it's the same model but with extended context length, same capabilities, converted locally using llama.cpp b9277. No modifications of any kind, quantized directly from the original weights.

If you're wanting the Vision variant version of this model, check out Qwen 2.5 VL 7B!

You may have noticed that this model replaced the original Qwen 2.5 7B, this was done due to it being the exact same, but with improved context length.

Why Pure GGUFs?

Many community quantizations include minor modifications such as system prompt changes or template edits. These are generally inconsequential for most users, but for those who require quantizations derived strictly from the official weights with no alterations, these files serve that purpose.

Picking a Quantization

Example: q4_k_m at a 64k context uses ~8GB VRAM.

---

Quantization Process

1. Weights pulled directly from Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-1M on HuggingFace.
2. Skipped: .git, .gitattributes, LICENSE, README.
3. Converted to F16 GGUF via convert_hf_to_gguf.py (llama.cpp).
4. Quantized locally with llama-quantize.
5. Uploaded to HuggingFace.

Introduction

Qwen2.5-1M is the long-context version of the Qwen2.5 series models, supporting a context length of up to 1M tokens. Compared to the Qwen2.5 128K version, Qwen2.5-1M demonstrates significantly improved performance in handling long-context tasks while maintaining its capability in short tasks.

The model has the following features:

• Type: Causal Language Models
• Training Stage: Pretraining & Post-training
• Architecture: transformers with RoPE, SwiGLU, RMSNorm, and Attention QKV bias
• Number of Parameters: 7.61B
• Number of Paramaters (Non-Embedding): 6.53B
• Number of Layers: 28
• Number of Attention Heads (GQA): 28 for Q and 4 for KV
• Context Length: Full 1,010,000 tokens and generation 8192 tokens
  • We recommend deploying with our custom vLLM, which introduces sparse attention and length extrapolation methods to ensure efficiency and accuracy for long-context tasks. For specific guidance, refer to this section.
  • You can also use the previous framework that supports Qwen2.5 for inference, but accuracy degradation may occur for sequences exceeding 262,144 tokens.

For more details, please refer to our blog, GitHub, Technical Report, and Documentation.

Requirements

The code of Qwen2.5 has been in the latest Hugging face transformers and we advise you to use the latest version of transformers.

With transformers<4.37.0, you will encounter the following error:

KeyError: 'qwen2'

Quickstart

Here provides a code snippet with apply_chat_template to show you how to load the tokenizer and model and how to generate contents.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-1M"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

Processing Ultra Long Texts

To enhance processing accuracy and efficiency for long sequences, we have developed an advanced inference framework based on vLLM, incorporating sparse attention and length extrapolation. This approach significantly improves model generation performance for sequences exceeding 256K tokens and achieves a 3 to 7 times speedup for sequences up to 1M tokens.

Here we provide step-by-step instructions for deploying the Qwen2.5-1M models with our framework.

1. System Preparation

To achieve the best performance, we recommend using GPUs with Ampere or Hopper architecture, which support optimized kernels.

Ensure your system meets the following requirements:

• CUDA Version: 12.1 or 12.3
• Python Version: >=3.9 and <=3.12

VRAM Requirements:

• For processing 1 million-token sequences:
  • Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-1M: At least 120GB VRAM (total across GPUs).
  • Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-1M: At least 320GB VRAM (total across GPUs).

If your GPUs do not have sufficient VRAM, you can still use Qwen2.5-1M for shorter tasks.

2. Install Dependencies

For now, you need to clone the vLLM repository from our custom branch and install it manually. We are working on getting our branch merged into the main vLLM project.

git clone -b dev/dual-chunk-attn [email protected]:QwenLM/vllm.git
cd vllm
pip install -e . -v

3. Launch vLLM

vLLM supports offline inference or launch an openai-like server.

Example of Offline Inference

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

# Initialize the tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-1M")

# Pass the default decoding hyperparameters of Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct
# max_tokens is for the maximum length for generation.
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.7, top_p=0.8, repetition_penalty=1.05, max_tokens=512)

# Input the model name or path. See below for parameter explanation (after the example of openai-like server).
llm = LLM(model="Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-1M",
    tensor_parallel_size=4,
    max_model_len=1010000,
    enable_chunked_prefill=True,
    max_num_batched_tokens=131072,
    enforce_eager=True,
    # quantization="fp8", # Enabling FP8 quantization for model weights can reduce memory usage.
)

# Prepare your prompts
prompt = "Tell me something about large language models."
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)

# generate outputs
outputs = llm.generate([text], sampling_params)

# Print the outputs.
for output in outputs:
    prompt = output.prompt
    generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
    print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")

Example of Openai-like Server

vllm serve Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-1M \
  --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
  --max-model-len 1010000 \
  --enable-chunked-prefill --max-num-batched-tokens 131072 \
  --enforce-eager \
  --max-num-seqs 1

# --quantization fp8  # Enabling FP8 quantization for model weights can reduce memory usage.

Then you can use curl or python to interact with the deployed model.

Parameter Explanations:

• --tensor-parallel-size

  • Set to the number of GPUs you are using. Max 4 GPUs for the 7B model, and 8 GPUs for the 14B model.

• --max-model-len

  • Defines the maximum input sequence length. Reduce this value if you encounter Out of Memory issues.

• --max-num-batched-tokens

  • Sets the chunk size in Chunked Prefill. A smaller value reduces activation memory usage but may slow down inference.
  • Recommend 131072 for optimal performance.

• --max-num-seqs

  • Limits concurrent sequences processed.

You can also refer to our Documentation for usage of vLLM.

Troubleshooting:

1. Encountering the error: "The model's max sequence length (xxxxx) is larger than the maximum number of tokens that can be stored in the KV cache."

   The VRAM reserved for the KV cache is insufficient. Consider reducing the max_model_len or increasing the tensor_parallel_size. Alternatively, you can reduce max_num_batched_tokens, although this may significantly slow down inference.

2. Encountering the error: "torch.OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory."

   The VRAM reserved for activation weights is insufficient. You can try setting gpu_memory_utilization to 0.85 or lower, but be aware that this might reduce the VRAM available for the KV cache.

3. Encountering the error: "Input prompt (xxxxx tokens) + lookahead slots (0) is too long and exceeds the capacity of the block manager."

   The input is too lengthy. Consider using a shorter sequence or increasing the max_model_len.
